This really isn’t a security vulnerability, but it is a bit strange. As I leave Terminal running, with one tab in a screen session on a remote host, and other tabs coming and going, weird things happen with my ability to right-click on URLs. Occasionally it will only let me right-click on things that aren’t urls, but most of the time it simply displays an arbitrary, but increasing over time, number of “Open URL” options. Mine goes to 11 :

Trying it right now, I get 10. The number fluctuates, but increases over time. Restarting Terminal resets it back to only having one.
This is a little off-topic for this blog, but I couldn’t find anyone else on Google that has the same problem, so I figured I’d throw this post up so that when someone else with the same problem searches for it they’ll find this. Then they’ll email me or comment and we’ll be best trivial-bug-friends. Maybe we’ll start a support group or something.
